Rickenbach MLB *8* OVER 7 runs in Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati @ 7:05 ET - I definitely have respect for Francisco Liriano and the solid overall season he has had for the Pirates. However, in his last five home starts he's allowed 16 earned runs in 20 and 2/3 innings of work. That said, in home starts in the months of August and September combined, Liriano compiled a 6.97 ERA. Look for the Reds to get some revenge after struggling against them the last time they faced him. The real key here is that Cincinnait pitcher Keyvius Sampson is likely to get rocked again. The righty has a 5.73 ERA in his last three starts and certainly that could easily have been even worse as he's compiled a 2.09 WHIP in these three outings. Sampson has a 6.80 ERA and 1.92 WHIP overall this season. He has simply proven to be too hittable at the MLB level and the Pirates will lineup will be happy to prove that once again tonight. The over is 7-4 in his starts this year and the over is 11-4 in Liriano's home starts this season. The over is 7-2 in the Reds last nine games. The Pirates were off yesterday and are 13-5 to the over this season when playing with a day off. Play OVER 7 runs in Pittsburgh as an *8* selection Friday.
